Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?
At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.
To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.
While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.
The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.
Coinbase is on a mission to become an "AI-Native" company by 2028, fundamentally transforming how we operate across all functions. As an individual contributor in this space, you will drive AI adoption across Coinbase by working within one or more AI Growth Pods — internal accelerators that partner with non-engineering functions (e.g., Finance, HR, Legal, Operations, Marketing, Security) to identify, prototype, and scale high-impact AI automation solutions.
You will drive initiatives from initial implementation to broader productionalization, while ensuring these solutions deliver tangible ROI and pave the way for broader AI adoption. This role requires a unique blend of hands-on technical ability, and strong cross-functional collaboration.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Partake in AI Opportunity Discovery: Partner with teams across the organization to understand workflows, identify pain points, and uncover high-leverage opportunities for AI automation and efficiency gains.
- Design & Prototype AI Solutions: Apply advanced GenAI techniques, including large language models (LLMs) and Agentic AI, to rapidly design, build, and iterate on functional prototypes (e.g., AI agents, custom copilots, intelligent workflows) that address business needs. Write high-quality, well-tested code in Python and Golang to support these solutions.
- Deploy Sustainable Solutions: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evolve prototypes into scalable, secure, production-grade AI solutions aligned with long-term organizational goals.
- Drive Adoption & Enablement: Pilot new AI solutions with functional teams, gather feedback, iterate on prototypes, and support adoption to ensure demonstrable value and smooth transitions.
- Collaborate with Core AI Teams: Partner with central AI Platform and DevX teams to leverage existing infrastructure, contribute to shared knowledge bases, and ensure scalability and security of solutions.
- Ensure Responsible AI: Work with Security, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure all AI solutions adhere to strict security, privacy, and ethical guidelines, especially for sensitive data and high-risk workflows.
- Measure & Communicate Impact: Measure success metrics, track ROI, and effectively communicate the value delivered by AI initiatives to stakeholders.
- Stay Ahead of the Curve: Continuously research and experiment with emerging AI models, tools, and industry best practices to bring cutting-edge solutions to Coinbase.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Experience: 3+ years of experience in software engineering or a highly analytical, operational, or technical role, with some time focused on applied AI, Generative AI, or intelligent automation.
- Deep AI & Automation Expertise:
- Good understanding of LLM capabilities, limitations, and architectures (e.g., RAG, agents, fine-tuning concepts).
- Hands-on experience with AI tools and platforms (e.g., enterprise LLMs like Gemini/Claude, no-code/low-code automation platforms, agent frameworks LangChain/LangGraph, Python).
- Ability to rapidly prototype and demonstrate working solutions.
- Strong Software Engineering Skills:
- Expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining production services, with a strong understanding of microservices architecture.
- Ability to write high-quality, well-tested code that meets customer needs.
- Strong technical skills in coding, and debugging complex technical issues to enhance system reliability and scalability.
- Problem-Solving & Agility:
- Highly analytical and structured problem-solver, comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
- Ability to manage multiple parallel initiatives and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Collaboration & Risk Awareness:
- Ability to work cross-functionally with legal, security, compliance, and engineering teams.
- Good understanding of data privacy, security, and ethical considerations related to AI.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in a BizOps, Data Science, Data Engineering, or Product Engineering role with a strong focus on automation.
- Prior experience building or implementing AI agents or advanced workflow automation solutions.
- Active participation in the broader AI community (e.g., open-source contributions, conference presentations)
